Thrones














Back in June I got the chance to assist costume designer/stylist Billy Heinemann on a shoot he'd been cooking up for a loooong time. Based on a collective obsession with Game of Thrones and the talents of photographer Amelia Dowd, photography assistant Abraham De Souza, makeup artist Billy Weston, hair stylist Natashia Steyn and dancer/performer Josh Cocks, it was rewarding to see Billy's vision actualize! We even got to play with leather harnesses, braces, belts and crystal studded armour/jewelery from Ruby & Prankstar. All the rest was Billy's own clothing or crowns and accessories he'd made.

Being apart of such a 'story' inspired shoot, this was an exciting opportunity for me to create and think outside the box and also to be SUPER organized. I still find that creating and building fashion characters are one of the most playful and intrigueing parts of fashion! We should all do that more often even if it's just to pop down to the shops, don't you think?
 
Now that it's been chosen and published by Papercut Magazine, we can finally show everyone what our little dream team are capable of! All involved were so lovely to work with and super focused, make sure your checkout their pages. Anyway, here are a few of my favourite shots, you can see the rest of them here!

Let me know what you think? Hope you enjoy these. You can probably pick out all the characters that inspired our looks from one of our favourite shows (addictions) too!

Colonize




















A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be asked to do a shoot with Amelia Dowd for Colony. Amelia is a Brisbane local creative who has featured in publications such as Mayhem Magazine, online at Vogue Italia and more. This is her website which blew me away and intimidated me when Jess told me that she would be the photographer! Little did I know there was nothing to fear, it was an enjoyable afternoon in the sunshine, dressing up (we had Pamela Love and Scosha to play with too!), amongst warm and wonderful company. Below, Amelia answers some hard and fast questions ;)

3 words that describe you? Loud, creative, loving.

Top 5 movies of all time? The Lion King, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Up and anything with Meryl Streep.

What are you listening to at the moment? The Last Dinosaurs album, In a Million Years. Also Patti Smith

Where are you on a sunday afternoon? Usually sleeping. I am busy in the week, I cherish sleep.

If you could be any animal what would you be and why? These questions are hard! A bird, to fly. Or maybe a dolphin.
